CATCHING THE IMPETUS
avs the Los Angeles Hernld .

Says the Los Angeles Herald:
II Angelenos were really not heartily glad at
the prosperity of the whole State now would be
she time for INDUCING in jeremaids, for the
reign of prosperity seems 10 have set in for tho
whole commonwealth. Even Sacramento has
caught the Impetus, and her newspapers will
doubtless, II the movement shall keep up find
II more congenial to register local improvements
man TO snari Of tho progress of their neighbors
mus we shall a., benefit by this new and
mighty pleasant dispensation.
There is no hcsitancy on our part in
publishing the above bit OF conceited ex-
Nression. Let the Herald and all the 9th
once for all, learn what they have
tnl| over and over again, that no rep
vspaner in Sacramento has
ogress" of any other
0. ~ e. The RECORD UNION
speaking for itself alone, gives the lie
hatly to the Heralds ungenerous statement.
The REcoRD-UHIoN takes commendable
pride in the fact that from the outset and
uniformly it has discountenanced and
roundly condemned all local jealousies be-
tween the northern and southern sections.
and has stood for the VIII ole State and
every part Of tive wish we could say
as much for the Los Angeles press. There
is no corner Of developing and now partly
settled California below the snow belt of
the Sierras, that is not twenty fold superior
for homes to the most favored section Of
the East north Of the Tennessee river.
We sell cl innate in this State: that which
Is atop of the soil" the land itself we
throw into the bargain. 1t matters not at
all where the home-seeker directs his foot
steps in California, whether it is to Los
Angeles, Sacramento, Colusa Shasta,
San Diego, Sonoma or Monte
rey, we shall say to him,
a. we always have, "You cannot go amiss
If YOU exercise ordinary prudence; there
Is no specially desired climate of all the
temperates and semi-tropics that you can
not find here to your liking and with
soil, the capacity Of which is limited only
IN degrees of comparison with other
lands" In fact all land that is Offering is
so well favored and so fruitful beneath the
hand of industry, that there is small likeli-
hood OF any imposition being practiced
upon the visitor who is ordinarily favored
with brains.
SO far as Sacramento Catching the i'm
petus" is concerned, that is not news; she
has had it for years. Her growth has
been steady, and strong ever since date
several years prior TO the " boom bring
ing the south to the front so prominently.
1t is quiclened just now, naturally, be-
cause the people Of the Fast are beginning
to realize that all that has been told them
in the past concerning the productive
capacity of the State, the eq,,aibility of
Its climate is true, and that no other sec
ton of the Union offers such strong at
fractions 10 those who would escape the
rigors of a sub-frigid climate. Sacramento
knows her own interest; her people are
fully awake to her importance they know
precisely what the value of the climate
and soil, and natural advantages and arti-
fetal means Of communication and trans
portation are to her, and let our Los An
geles brethren borrow no trouble for fear
that they will not be fully utilized to local
advantage.
The Sacramento press and that of North
ern California, and notably this journal, as
far back as sixteen years ago, was laboring
diligently to advertise at the East the adj
vantages of this State, and it has at no
time ceased in that endeavor Sacramento
business men have contributed to the same
end all these years in various ways, and
notably in seconding the press in circulat-
ing the immigration literature" Allthese
efforts have contributed to the present
harvest, and that greater one that is prom
ised by the forecast OF to-day. The re-
suits OF the hour have not all flowed from
Immediate endeavor they are the OUT
growth, in a large degree, Of seed sowu by
the press and people of Central and North
ern California, long lesore the southern
boom was conceived in the hopes OF the
most ardent friend OF that section. All
this is said m an unscliish spirit. ard with
